Pisces Horoscope for May 2025

This is another very interesting month, Pisces, when what is deep inside you calls to you most clearly. The Taurus New Moon of late April governs the thirty-day lunation cycle that covers most of this current May month, and it must also be noted that this recent New Moon featured Pluto in early Aquarius, which for you represents your sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work. This inner world is music to your Piscean ears, as you are always very conscious of worlds beyond that which lies within the purview of the five physical senses. The transformation that this phase of Pluto in Aquarius implies is an inner one, and that is where the metamorphosis of this month is leading you. There is an intellectual quality for you now that can take you farther on your evolutionary journey provided that you can stay open to possibilities. The Scorpio Full Moon of Monday, May 12th, represents a culmination of this intellectually adventurous and deep-diving exploration that currently drives you. This juncture represents a timing as well when you might become more conscious of inner wounding, due to the highlighted emphasis in this lunation on Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in his conjunction with Eris for soul intention. The Last Quarter Moon of the 20th – and the subsequent Gemini New Moon of the 26th – are also significant junctures as you grow in understanding and as your root psychology further manifests and takes hold of you.

May opens in the wake of the April 27th New Moon in Taurus, activating your third sector of communication, thought patterns, and local environment for almost the entirety of the month. This lunation also formed a potent T-square with Pluto in Aquarius and Mars in Leo, stirring intensity in your mental world and daily rhythms. You might be navigating internal pressure to express yourself differently or breaking through old thought loops that no longer reflect your current truth. With transformational effects of Pluto activating your twelfth sector of dream imagination, unconscious process, and inner work, there are shifts as well that are going on below the surface layers of your psyche. These might be subtle and difficult to get a handle on, although quite real. You might gain by paying attention to whatever comes along in synchronistic symbolization, and by trusting your intuition. Your dedication to this inner work is profound and very present for you right now. There could also be friction between your intuitive understanding and your more logical side, and something transforming in your relationship in navigating intangible realms of your dream states and subconscious. Perhaps you're becoming more attuned to how the narratives you carry shape your lived experience, and this lunation invites a rewrite – one that's getting updated to be more expressive of the whole of who you are as a being, and who you are becoming as you evolve and grow.

On May 1st and 2nd, Venus conjoins Neptune in Aries, landing in your second sector of resources, values, and self-worth. With Neptune having just left your own sign, and now on a new ~14-year journey, you might feel tender, nostalgic, or dreamy about who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Venus here brings a softness to your relationship with money and personal resources – but also prompts you to ask what you truly value at a soul level. This moment may offer a glimpse into how your spirituality and creativity can support both inner and material abundance.

Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius on May 4th, echoing its prominent position from the New Moon in your twelfth sector of the unconscious. Pluto through Aquarius is a long arc of inner evolution for you – one that’s asking you to explore the hidden spaces within, to dance with shadow, and embrace the metamorphosis of your inner world. During the week or so surrounding this retrograde station, you may notice an increased awareness of subterranean emotions or buried beliefs. You're invited to listen to what moves beneath the surface and to bring a gentle air of presence and witnessing to the process of renewal that is unfolding within you.

Mercury enters Taurus on May 10th in your third sector, lending focus to your voice, mindset, and how you engage with information. You may find more clarity and ease in expressing your thoughts or working through lingering questions. This is a good time to have conversations that require a steady presence, or to focus on learning or research.

The Full Moon in Scorpio on May 12th illuminates your ninth sector of higher learning, personal philosophy, and spiritual growth. Opposite the Sun in close proximity to Uranus, this lunation may bring unexpected insights, breakthroughs, or awakenings that challenge your current worldview. You might feel the urge to travel, dive into study, or open your mind to new frameworks of understanding. There is also at this timing a potent examination going on within you of your own inner principles and values, and how these might be able to contribute to your outer world persona and goals. Your social setting is never far from your thoughts right now, and the way that you could enhance your presence by allowing your true attitudes and feelings to express themselves more freely. There's an electric charge to this Full Moon – an urge to grow beyond the familiar and connect with something beyond in the realms of mystery and depth. Let your intuition lead, allowing the tug of your desire for further exploration to be your guide.

On May 20th, the Sun enters Gemini, highlighting your fourth sector of home, family, and inner foundations. You may feel a pull to anchor down, tending your roots and creating more emotional and physical nourishment in your private life. This is a time for grounding, not necessarily in stillness, but in the delight you may find in care for yourself and your close ones, connection, and listening to what kind of home environment your body and spirit need in order to feel safe and held.

A major shift arrives on May 24th, as Saturn joins Neptune in Aries, where these two planets will travel closely together until mid-September, activating your second sector of finances and values. This rare conjunction may prompt deep reflection around what you truly value, and an invitation to tangible acts of devotion to and commitment to those values. Perhaps there’s a longing to align your income with your purpose, or to invest your time and energy into what you find truly meaningful. This transit is both inspiring, yet also may come with moments of feeling disillusioned with harsh facts of reality. You are encouraged to take practical steps toward building a life that honors both your vision and your needs, opening to the potential of weaving the sacred and the tangible into a new foundation of security and abundance.

Finally, the New Moon in Gemini on May 26th offers a fresh start in your fourth sector. With Mercury tightly conjunct this lunation and Pluto making a trine, this is a fertile time for planting seeds around home, healing, and your most personal aspirations. You may feel a shift in how you relate to family, ancestors, or emotional inheritance, and a chance to name what you want your foundations to feel like now, and write a new story of what home means and feels like for you.

After a first quarter of 2025 shaped by the slow and challenging energy of all the inner planet retrogrades, May begins to stir the energy of forward movement – gentle at first, but steadily building. Perhaps what emerges now isn’t about rushing ahead but rather speaks to moving from a deeper integration of all that’s shifted beneath the surface. Your dreams may be ready to take root, not as fantasies, but as living truths shaped by your courage, care, and quest for clarity. May you walk with your intuition as your guide, your heart as your compass, and your spirit grounded in both softness and strength.
